Review of Butcher’s Storm Front

Author Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files books have such a strong reputation and equally strong sales that piles of his books decorate the science fiction shelves of most of the bookshops I ever get the chance to visit. There has also been a television series, which presumably has assisted with visibility. Books which form part of series featuring the same character and which get made into television tend not to appeal to me – perhaps I am revealing a Luddite strain when I say that a real novel has such depth and intricacy that it could never successfully be transferred to a screen.
